Web Design / Web Development FAQs:

Do you provide web hosting?

Yes. We have teamed up with Flywheel Hosting to provide web hosting. However, we recommend that you bundle the web hosting service with our Web Maintenance Service to keep your website secure and up-to-date.

Do you provide web maintenance?

Yes. We keep your WordPress plug-ins and themes up-to-date and solve any design problems that may arise with future WordPress updates. We only update WordPress websites.

What's included in your WordPress web maintenance and support services?

I need a business email address. Where can I get one?

Just think: Gmail personalized to your business. We have been using the service for nearly 10 years now and can't say enough good things. Get a free trial using our referral link. Ask us about the special promotion: 20% off discount.

What about Wix and Weebly?

We don’t recommend these platforms, because…

Wix and Weebly tend to use drag and drop style platforms that place a lot of restrictions on developers. While they are fast and easy in the early stages of your website and sound appealing when you are on a budget, they are difficult to customize when your business or studio is ready to grow. Most website developers find working with drag and drop platforms complicated because they are unable to manually change elements. A drag and drop interface places the most limitations to accessing the code and could be a barrier to hiring someone to help you.

What do you recommend for e-commerce: Shopify or WooCommerce?

Shopify helps you get started pretty painlessly offering a highly optimized experience that works as expected. You'll even get fast-response technical support directly from the Shopify team. But of course, all of this comes with a price.

Although, WooCommerce is open source (free) and gives you full control of your e-commerce store with access to thousands of premade themes and plugins to choose from. Since options are endless with WooCommerce, you may need to hire an expert to help get your shop started and select the best plugins for your business needs.

WordPress or Squarespace, which is better for informational or marketing sites?

We recommend WordPress. But Squarespace has some good qualities too.

WordPress offers thousands of plugins to help you add functionalities to your website at a relatively low cost.

Squarespace makes it easy to get started with a great drag-and-drop builder, and ownership is simplified with security, updates, and support.

WordPress.com (free) vs WordPress.org (stand-alone). Which one do you use?

We design and develop websites using the WordPress.org stand-alone version.
